Airborne particulate matter was collected at Wajima, on the Noto Peninsula, Ishikawa, Japan by a high-volume air sampler with a quartz filter every week from 17 September 2004 to 16 September 2005. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) extracted from filters were analyzed by HPLC with fluorescence detection. The atmospheric concentrations of PAHs at Wajima were higher during the heating period of China (when coal is burned for heat) than during the no-heating period. A meteorological analysis indicated that the air samples collected in that heating period at Wajima were transported mainly from Northeast China over the Japan Sea. Principal component analysis of nine PAHs indicated a Chinese origin of the PAHs. These results strongly suggest that the high-level PAHs detected at Wajima were the result of long-range transport from China.
